I run xp home ed. I keep it fully updated.

Since installing skype and itunes I cannot open outlook express. All I get
when I click the icon is a ping.

God alone knows what the kids may have inadvertantly installed.

Any ideas how I can get it to open?

How do you open Outlook Express? Click on an icon that is a shortcut? If
so, delete the icon, and create a new one using the following path as the
appropriate entry for your shortcut (as a test you can first copy/paste the
info below with quotes into the Start/Run line and see if it opens):

"C:\PROGRAM FILES\OUTLOOK EXPRESS\MSIMN.EXE"

Make certain to include the quotations marks and post back if not fixed.
